Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2017 Mock Draft Lottery:
1. Sixers- Markelle Fultz- PG
After trading up for the 1st overall pick, the Sixers are all in on Fultz. Brett Brown has been in need of a star point guard to run his system, and after six years of The Process Philadelphia has assembled an impressive lineup on paper.

There once was a GM who lived in a shoe, he had so many bigs he didn't know what to do!!!
Like many a Sixer fan who have been part of The Process for the past several years, it seems the team has finally reached a precipitous point in their processing. For all of the stellar play of Joel Embiid and Dario Saric this season, the odd man that appears to be left out is Jahill Okafor.

He makes the most sense, can play both SG and SF which they need, is a freak athlete and will only improve over the next several years. His defense and range is what sets him apart from Jabari Parker. He is now the surefire #1 pick, but just remember, it's the Cavs picking so who the hell knows.

"Who wants some?"
That picture just about sums it up. Well mostly.
You could call the closing out of this series a clinic, a medical dissection, or just a good old fashioned passionate ass whoopin. Any of those choices will still lead you to the same road; redemption. The Spurs didn't just win this series, they royally dethroned King James and company in their quest for a three-peat.
